[R] Read Unicode text (*.txt)

[javad bayat]

Dear all;
I use your suggestion but I gave the same warning messages. I changed the
file name (Data.csv).
"
d4<-read.csv("./Data.csv",sep=";",header=TRUE,encoding="UTF-16")
     Warning messages:
         1: In read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote =
quote,  :
           line 1 appears to contain embedded nulls
          2: In read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote =
quote,  :
          line 2 appears to contain embedded nulls
          3: In read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote =
quote,  :
          line 3 appears to contain embedded nulls
          4: In read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote =
quote,  :
           line 4 appears to contain embedded nulls
          5: In read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote =
quote,  :
            line 5 appears to contain embedded nulls
          6: In read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote =
quote,  :
           line 1 appears to contain embedded nulls
          7: In scan(file = file, what = what, sep = sep, quote = quote,
dec = dec,  :
             embedded nul(s) found in input
"

I opened the Data in notepad. This is the head of Data.csv. The columns
have been separated by semicolons.
